    I've managed 4 days in a row without a drink. This is absolutely unheard of for me - I'm a bottle a night girl so I can't stop patting myself on the back LOL. Just one more day to go and then I can treat myself. Weekends here are Fri/Sat so the weekend begins on Thursday night and I'm sooooo looking forward to those 5 glasses of wine.

    Does everyone record their drinks by alcohol unit or by glass/can/bottle?

    One 8oz glass of wine last night, probably the same for tonight. Taking the kitties for their annual tonight, spending all that $$$ makes me want to drink :tongue:
    The rest of my week will probably involve some wine every night and saturday will be lots of beer for sure. Going to my sister in laws new place and she is ALWAYS a bad influence....or I'm a bad influence, either way we always have fun :bigsmile:

    I got mandatory cancelled from work today. Ummm, good thing, because I didn't even know I was scheduled today. I would have been a no-show. WTH??? I never do that!! Even better that I decided not to tie one on last night!!

    Shooting for a ZERO today!!

    :laugh: "forgot" the wine? :bigsmile: Threw out the kit-kats? :indifferent: Is this the Twilight Zone?

    :flowerforyou: Congrats on the rescue pup and to all those doing well.

    :tongue: Hugs, tickles and butt kicks to the rest of us.

    :ohwell: I want the RESULTS of limiting Fri/Sat/Sun to a pint and a half of beer or 3 sm glasses of wine/day...
    BUT when it comes down to it, I always want to drink more! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    :sad: Failing by consistently trading what I want most for what I want at the moment, as the leader of another thread says...Maybe I just don't want the results enough?
    Sure did last night when I had to look at myself in the mirror for the entire 2 hr line dance class.:sick:


    wine=4 oz
    beer=16 oz

    Mon: 2 wine
    Tues: 0
    Let's keep it at zero til Friday!!!

    I love that you guys have these threads going every month. So many people think that they can't have wine or anything when they're dieting. Yes, I dropped a buttload of weight one time when I wasn't drinking at all, but, I've also lost weight and toned up while enjoying my chianti. My "goal" for the next couple of weeks is to keep my red wine (obsession) to 8oz a day.

    4 glasses of red last night-1 chianti and 3 merlot. It would have been 2 merlot but I got slapped with a lawsuit by my former landlord. Bastages! Anyway, I think I'll mellow out tonight. I slept like crap last night...who am I kidding? I still have half a bottle of merlot!:drinker:11996499.png

    Hubs and I did stay home yesterday and we got so much done! Of course, the kids were being bears last night, so I was going to have a glass of wine and read, but I was coerced into working out...and afterwards, I didn't want the wine. So, yay!

    Of course, today is a snow day...so I'm currently drinking a chai with vanilla vodka in it. :drinker:

    But...
    Monday-0
    Tuesday-0
    Wednesday-1 so far.

    Blah, blah, blah, I live in place that doesn't get seasons...:laugh:

    It will probably be gone by Friday. I'm suspecting that they're not holding school because we just tried to pass a bond and a mil levy (my school district has been in the budget sh!tter for a while) and it failed. Teachers are PISSED.

    seasons are overated. :wink:
    our schools are probably in worse shape than just about anywhere in the country. i have lots of teachers in my family..and my brother is a superintendent of one of the districts. Makes for some interesting discussions around the holiday family dinner table. :tongue:
    you teachers are grossly underpaid and overworked. i respect the work you do tremendously. i could never do it.

    That's what people who live in places without seasons say... :laugh:

    My sister-in-law's brother is a teacher in San Diego and he survived 4 rounds of pink slips to finally get one, right after his son was born. He actually got a job working for some online school and he's really loving it--he can work from home, so they don't have to pay for child care.

    Teaching in this country sucks--if I had some sort of other skill set (and if the country's economy wasn't crappy) I'd try and do something else.

    Oh well...who wants shots?

    I'm sooo excited to find this thread! :drinker: It's nice to know there are others that enjoy a drink or two or 10 and are still successfully losing weight....

    Had 1 Bacardi & diet during last night's Red Wings loss...wah! :sad:

    My son and friends have been known to surf in the morning be up in the mountains boarding by afternoon. Can't get much better than that!

    Hope the job situation improves for you, dot! I'm not doing shots but I did just opened a bottle of red wine. Cheers! :drinker:

    Sorry! I voted for it! Everything I voted for failed...
    Drank way too much last night. I thought I was being reasonable, a marg with dinner, two Fat Tires at the improv show, then two Coors Lights after the show but I feel like crap today. Next time, less drink or more sleep.
    Wednesday=5 drinks

    I ate a slice for breakfast as well...:blushing: I know the gross feeling ALL TOO WELL :sick:

    Amy, sorry your frustrated with the job situation. I think the economy just blows right now and there just isn't any money anywhere. It's probably going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

    OK, I'm going to let Jillian kick my butt right now!!

    Mass flooding under my kitchen sink! ARRGGG! :angry:
    I swear in my next life, I will marry a handyman/woman.

    I guess I will exercise while I wait for the plumber (since it's too early to drink...don't think I wasn't tempted to spike my coffee!)

    My plan for mid-week sobriety was a big, fat, fail.

    After my chai and vanilla vodka, I had 2 (maybe 3?) double vodkas with sugar free red bull and 3 shots of a concoction made with pineapple vodka, peach schnapps, and blood orange vodka with a splash of apple juice. :ohwell:

    Monday=0
    Tuesday=0
    Wednesday=8 (yikes!!)
